dan! I don't want you thinking different about these whole thing but I think it's best if you hand me my wife's part of the industry. Besides, she's my wife..." He added. lol I could do was state at his lips move while he spoke. I smirked looking around me, lost for words as well.
"I heard you, I'm going to have to think about all of it! I'll talk to Yeesha before I take on my final decision." I stated but he see ed a little bit disappointed.
"You...You don't have to reach across to her, I'm here husband and she's my wife, we both love and trust each other."
"Cmon Clinton, who's talking about binding relationships or love entanglement? I'm about being professional right here, its only about how business works not some shit love!"
I straightened out, he wasn't contented my responses, I guess he expected something horrible.
"Oh OK then, I understand but..."
"...No buts Clinton, I'll just talk to my partner!" I concluded. He nodded lightly then grabbed his keys to leave.
"Ok! I'll see you around, thanks for your time!" He attempted his first step then turned to me again while I folded my arms watching his every move.
"I'm really sorry for not showing up when Gia birthed Khaleed..."
"I'm not mad!" I snapped, I was mad indeed. "He's not your responsibility so? I'm the father so I don't expect every one to be present anyways! I understand!" I stated, maybe I was overdoing the whole thing.
"Al...Alright! I'll drop by tomorrow, my regards!"
"Of course! See you soon!" We shook then he exited, this estranged relationship was really out track, we might roll up on each other really soon and that would be really ugly. Yeesha might hate me for that.
*Are you at the hotel, we coming *
I read the text Jeff sent to me. They'd be shocked to find me here, waiting ahead of time.
A woman was sitting adjacent at her table stealing glances, she wasn't alone but she was persistent with the stares. I turned away to see if she would but she didn't. I took up my phone then initiated a video call with Gia, it was necessary to facetime her. That woman wouldn't let me breathe fine. She answered without a waste of time.
"Baby? Are you missing me already?" She asked sweetly
"You will not believe what's happening right now..." I stirred. She adjusted into a sitting position. She was curious.
"About what exactly?"
"There's this woman here at the hotel staring at me and its really pricking my skin!" I explained with a smirk
"Really? That means you're falling for her then. You've got a stripper with two big sons, don't forget!" She teased
"How could I ever forget that? I think you should see her..."
"That's not necessary baby, I was actually having a meeting when you called." She stated seriously but I bashed it.
"See this!" I flipped the camera for her to have a good view of the woman. I heard her laugh from the background then I flipped it back to me. "What do you think? Would she make a good side chic?" I teased as she smiled, it blew me away instantly. I felt tingled. I wanted to place some kisses on her captivating lips right and definitely makes love to her but now wasn't a good time.
"Put yourself in order big guy, watch out for preys!" She advised but it meant a lot, I was turned on, Gia must have casted a spell on me. The sleeveless red top she had on bizarrely exposed her cleavage, especially now that she was breastfeeding Khaleed, they are bigger and kinder rounder. This is unbelievable, why am I getting led on right now?!
"I really can't! Do you wanna know a secret, its a new one!" I inquired calmly
"Yeah! No secrets remember, so tell me."
"I think I'm losing myself, I'm heating..."
"What do you mean heating Baby, are you OK?" She seemed worried
"Ok ma'am. I'm turned on! You're getting me horny with the things you do...stop being attractive girl!" I almost yelled teasingly. She remained silent.
"I'll be waiting for you in the tub!" She hung up. I ran my fingers through my hair then I realized that my friends had arrived, their eyes were fixed on me.
"Do we have a problem?" I asked in chaos. They sat silently without a word, maybe I screamed a little too unusual. That woman was staring at me intently, her partner was no where you be found.
"Are you really horny here at the hotel?" Jeff asked smirking, taking a sip from my glass, lamar laughed mockingly.
"Y'all are bunch of idiots, I've got to use the restroom. Somebody!" I stood to leave.
"Don't over use the restroom though, you might just abort some sons..." Lamar teased, this is unforgivable. I gave them light punches on their shoulders then scurried away.
I heaved a deep sigh urinating, I cleaned up then washed my my hands. I took a towel to wipe off the water droplets as well then hung it back. I rubbed my face admiring myself through the mirror then I turned to leave, I watched the door handle twisting. I freaked out inwardly.
"I'm so sorry, i missed my way to the restroom!" A feminine voice explained without showing her face. The voice vanished.
"OK, take your left before the exit stairs!" I explained. I opened the door to leave.
That same woman was standing next to the wash hand basin, she had already unzipped her top, her breasts hung at its own mercy. I was dumbfounded, I did not bargain for this did I?! She drew closer with smirk on her red lips.
"You said you were horny earlier so, we could make our dreams come true..." She caressed my chest then i pushed her away.
"Get off me, who the hell are you?" I asked
"You mustn't know, you should be glad that I came through for you when it mattered the most! I like you Jordan, I've always had my eyes on you long before now!" She stated.
"I..I'm not interested, I'm happily married and not divorcing anytime soon! Don't play victim!..." I stated with an attempt to leave, she interrupted me again.
"...That's what I want, a man like you. I don't Care if you have a wife, I care about us...you!" She added confidently.
"You're out of your damn mind!" I walked out on her. I made my to the table where my friends were, they were talking as always. I took a seat.
"Tell us everything in details, what on earth turned you on?" Lamar stirred.
"Could it be that girl?"
I knew they'd never let this go. I cringed.
"Can't y'all mind your businesses? I'm a man not some plank of wood, got it?" I reminded
"Who gets turned on in the day time?" Jeff teased as they bursted out into laughter, that was an absurd statement. You literally can not tell your organs how to function, can you ever? I wondered. They were not seeing it as nature rather as one of my shenanigans.
"Y'all better stop that shit talk! What's going on?!" I digressed. The woman from earlier walked past us stylishly. Lamar motioned his head towards her, we all turned to her direction. She turned us and winked, her wittiness intrigued my friends, she approached them stopped at my place. She took out a card then tucked it into my wallet, it was on the table long before she arrived.
"Gimme a call honey, you never can tell!" She stated then turned to my friends. "Hi darlings, i like your friend and he's not seeing it...please speak with him!" She said but it sounded sarcastic to me, then walked away. Right after she was out of sight, they turned to me smiling, I felt mocked.
"Ok! That's a cool start, Kareem and women, blood siblings!" Jeff teased
"Enough y'all, she's been bugging. She bumped into me at the restroom...'sorry i lost my way kinda thing'. She's all over me!" I explained smirking. They laughed
"Why wouldn't she, especially now that she's heard about the industry! Big deal!" Lamar reminded, we laughed.
"Speaking about it..."
"Why was Clinton here though..." Lamar interrupted me
"About the industry, man!" I poured some wine into my glass and then took a sip from it. "He wants a part of it!" I snapped
"What nonsense!" Jeff snapped almost pissed "Why's he all over the industry right now? He's got a part of it already. I mean, Yeesha got a part!" He stated.
"Does it actually matters if she's got a part or not?" Lamar asked defiantly "She's his wife not a business partner so, he's got no business with the industry."
"Even if she's his wife, couples share which gives him the ample right to take part on her behalf!" Jeff stated again
"Would you take Zoe's Will all in the name of being a goddamn husband?" Lamar asked
"Of course not..."
"Then what are you trying to say bro?" Lamar pointed in defense "He's a jerk. A real man can't be alone over his woman's will...that's selfish!" Lamar added. Lamar was reasonable right now but Jeff was acting different this time, they switched sides.
"A'ight guys! What's up? Chill, I haven't even told you the whole story." I added to capture their attention.
"Well you spill it then!" Jeff coaxed
"He wants to be in charge of Yeesha's part."
"And what did you say?"
"That's bull shit, I can't fall for that shit!" I snapped
"Better though. I was speaking from a broader angle, some men actually love to take possession of such jackpots from their partners. He feels some type of way because she's way bigger!" Jeff said, this sounded more like him.
"He's kidding, he's insane!" Lamar says as well smiled.
Few minutes on,
Jeff stirred again, he cleared his throat.
"Who's the medical father to Khaleed?"
"Medical father?" Lamar and I questioned in unison.
"Is that also a medical term?" Lamar asked
"What else should I say, they crowned it up like that." Jeff said. "Its your fault Jordan.." He blurted then I stared at him questionably "yeah, you're at fault. Why were you seeking a blood test so early, that's bull shit. What do you need genetics for when you're the father and no one is?" Jeff cautioned "You don't have to search everything real quick, now look at where you landed. Dragging responsibilities over your own son, that's crazy." He stopped
"Don't talk like I wanted that for a different purpose, its a normal thing that every goddamn person does, I didn't start it...." I said defensively, our conversation was getting tensed up.
"...Well, you could be the first to stop jerk!" Jeff added
"Who's the jerk? You're the jerk 'cox y'all don't follow no protocols... A blood test can't harm a fly can it?" I said
"Of course it did, it hurt you bro. What do I need a protocol for? I don't have to have evidences over my own son. Who cares what his blood group is, I'm the father so what's the trouble?" Jeff snapped confidently. We were getting pissed at each other.
"What the hell is wrong with you, don't talk to me about running my affairs, I got me! I didn't tell you that I was helpless so don't act like you're trying to save my ass from a shit that ain't a problem!" I stated angrily
"Yes Kareem, you just got nuked. I can't have a man claiming shit over my son, I planted that seed so I'm gonna trap it!" He added mockingly
"You better take that back Jeff, I'm not gonna act stupid like you over here! If you don't feel like saying something reasonable then drive out as soon as possible 'coz you're gonna hate me next time you say shit!" I warned sternly. I could feel my nerves responding.
"What are you gonna do Kareem, tell me what on earth you're going to do?" He slammed at me. "If you couldn't handle whoever the wannabe father was then how could you ever come at me? Hmm?" He blurted. That was disrespectful, Jeff could never say such things but he did regardless. I didn't hesitate to throw him two punches on the face. He returned them as well while Lamar struggled to separate us, we were not having it cool, we fought each other back.
"What's up y'all, what the hell?" Lamar yelled at us then threw slaps at us. We were attempting another round as Lamar called the securities on us, the small crowd around were taking pictures and videoing the whole scene.
The securities asked us to exit the promises politely only because we were high ranked personalities, they gave us the respect they always did.
"Y'all are bunch of cowards for real! What's so difficult for y'all to handle right away? I'm outta here!' Lamar stormed out instantly and angrily.
Jeff and I stared at each other in distaste
"You better stay off my business, man. You'd hate me for real, I won't let this slip off easily!" I added
"Bring your shit on bro, I'll teach you how to be a man!" He blurted, I was hurt.
"Please sirs, could you exit the premises. Please!" A security reminded.
I grabbed my wallet and keys that laid on the ground as a result if the fist fight, the glassy table had been broken into pieces. Our damages.
"Get me your manger! Don't waste my time!" I inquired talking to.the security while Jeff took his keys too wiping of the blood stains on his face. I had blood stains too but that wasn't my problem. The manager approached, it was a female.
"Sorry to keep you waiting..." She began calmly with a smile
"Whatever lady, paying for the damages. Here's my card!" I took out my card but jeff interfered handing his card.
"I'm sorry, whom am I accepting the card from?" She asked, she was confused.
"Didn't I ask you first, don't go over!" I cautioned angrily.
"Yeah Kareem, don't try to please women anymore. At least not right now!" Jeff blurted, my anger triggered. I attempted to hit him but I calmed myself instead. There was no point to because he was purposely getting me angry, I didn't give in. I turned to the manager.
"I'll contact you soon!" I said as she nodded positively.
I walked away while Jeff paid for the damages. I entered my car about to take off, I rested my head on the wheel, I was hurting psychologically, I never imagined that Jeff and I would exchange abusive words or engage in a fist fight.
I stared at myself through the rear mirror, Gia'd be angry at me, I'm certain.
